Beeney: Team performance

Reds stopper Mitchell Beeney paid tribute to the defence in front of him in Tuesday night’s 2-0 win at The Valley.

The Chelsea loanee also made a late penalty save from Lee Novak to keep the two goal advantage in the closing stages of the game, but he was keen to praise the whole side.

“It’s a great win and a nice birthday present to save the penalty too!

“We did the research from the last round and I took a chance and that’s the way he went.

“You can’t single out one individual because the whole side had a great game and we made it easy for ourselves to be able to play our game.”
